As many of my friends know, I am setting off for France, Spain and Andorra on vacation, with the primary purpose of spectating at several stages of the Tour de France. This blog will chronicle my travels, and any interesting things that happen along the way.
I had pretty much planned out this trip back in October '08, when the 2009 TdF route was announced. I saw right away that the Tour was passing through Barcelona for only the 3rd time in its history, and since I had been wanting to get back to Barcelona for several years (I studied there in the Summer of 1986), I decided this was the year.
So I will be watching 3 stages of the Tour, and getting some (hopefully awesome) cycling in. there will be pictures-a-plenty to share, I'm sure.
Well that's it for now, as I must finish packing and head ofo the airport in a couple of hours. A bientôt!

Zack's company is sponsoring a service that writes messages on the roads in chalk. Let me know if you see any.

Mike, what messages? In the mountains there are literally thousands of messages written on the road. You would probably be able to see them better on TV from the helicopter shots anyway :-)
ReplyDeleteYour mother says hello & she loves you. She wishes you well. She has seen your picture in Montpellier. I printed it off for her. By the way, she is still a pita.
